Re: Is there a guard-version of Tim Duncan?
For those mentioning him, I personally don't think it's Jerry West.. Jerry West may have had a non-flashy game stylistically speaking but watch his game film and he still looks exciting to watch nonetheless because he played at an incredible level of intensity that you just don't see from Duncan's steady delivery of performance. West's game was also heavily reliant on his jump shot and all-around quickness, where as Duncan is sort of a steady jack of all trades pivot man with a wide variety of moves. I think Oscar Robertson fits the bill better than Jerry West.

Re: Is there a guard-version of Tim Duncan?
I was thinking more of the all around, not just the style of play... no frills attitude approach to the game, just play hard... great teammate, solid producer on the floor, team leader, long productive career always being one of the best year in and out... and both essentially the quintessential sports man and all around good guy

Re: Is there a guard-version of Tim Duncan?
Stylistically I like Oscar Robertson as a comparison. Different personalities, different team circumstances, but a similar approach to the game privileging substance over style.
Among current players, it would be Chris Paul: highly consistent 20/10ish player with great fundamentals.
If the "good guy" and "quintessential sports guy" personality is what you're looking for, then I'd say Steve Nash. He's also very fundamentally sound and had impressive longevity.

Damn it, I've always thought the same.

I would agree if Kobe was not such a ball hog. Plus, Kobe is flashier than Timmy.
